Skyline Crossover very nice car!! Has been available in Europe for some time now LH drive badged as Infiniti FX35- very stylish. Finally available in RH drive. Been looking at this beauty for some time and just recently saw it has been added to the RAWS list and available for import. Woo hoooo!! Certainly nothing like the Dualis or the Murano.

if you wait till next yr Holden is apparently releasing the bigger Colorado based on a chev GM Tahoe or avalanche and in a wagon and twin cab .... not sure of the engine config tho... maybe just s rumor tho.

BTW the boot size of a Territory is pitiful your wife must be easy pleased hahaha

crossover is definably an interesting car made for european markets. i don't know if id own one after owning an 05 Toyota Noah :)

The boot size of a Territory is bigger than virtually every other SUV-style car on the market, I'm not sure what car you're looking at, unless it's a 7-seater with all the seats up...there aren't too many cars that have three rows AND good boot space...I tried to convince her on an E51 but we do too much dirt road driving for a people mover (especially an Autech Rider slammed with 20s) and the Delica D:5 is gutless.

For philosophical reasons, I'd rather avoid a Holden or a Ford, I don't mind the VW Amaroks, I'll be test driving one soon.

Saw one last month at Fabcar Cannington (WA) for AU$69,xxx.

But I think it's sold already.

Wow $69k. Thats nuts!

I love these, and although to me they look better than a Murano, how do you justify and extra $20k with no local support, non english menu's, nav probs etc etc.

Oh, and thats $20k above a brand new Ti Murano.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
